Book Synopsis Seasonal to Decadal Predictions of Arctic Sea Ice by : National Research Council
Download or read book Seasonal to Decadal Predictions of Arctic Sea Ice written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent well documented reductions in the thickness and extent of Arctic sea ice cover, which can be linked to the warming climate, are affecting the global climate system and are also affecting the global economic system as marine access to the Arctic region and natural resource development increase. Satellite data show that during each of the past six summers, sea ice cover has shrunk to its smallest in three decades. The composition of the ice is also changing, now containing a higher fraction of thin first-year ice instead of thicker multi-year ice. Understanding and projecting future sea ice conditions is important to a growing number of stakeholders, including local populations, natural resource industries, fishing communities, commercial shippers, marine tourism operators, national security organizations, regulatory agencies, and the scientific research community. However, gaps in understanding the interactions between Arctic sea ice, oceans, and the atmosphere, along with an increasing rate of change in the nature and quantity of sea ice, is hampering accurate predictions. Although modeling has steadily improved, projections by every major modeling group failed to predict the record breaking drop in summer sea ice extent in September 2012. Establishing sustained communication between the user, modeling, and observation communities could help reveal gaps in understanding, help balance the needs and expectations of different stakeholders, and ensure that resources are allocated to address the most pressing sea ice data needs. Seasonal-to-Decadal Predictions of Arctic Sea Ice: Challenges and Strategies explores these topics.
Book Synopsis The Drift of Sea Ice by : Matti Leppäranta
Download or read book The Drift of Sea Ice written by Matti Leppäranta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of The Drift of Sea Ice presents the fundamental laws of sea ice drift which come from the material properties of sea ice and the basic laws of mechanics. The resulting system of equations is analysed for the general properties of sea ice drift, the free drift model and analytical models for ice drift in the presence of internal friction, and the construction of numerical ice drift models is detailed. This second edition of a much lauded work, unique on this topic in the English language, has been revised, updated and expanded with much new information and outlines recent results, in particular in relation to the climate problem, mathematical modelling and ice engineering applications. The current book presents the theory, observations, mathematical modelling techniques, and applications of sea ice drift science. The theory is presented from the beginning on a graduate student level, so that students and researchers coming from other fields such as physical oceanography, meteorology, physics, engineering, environmental sciences or geography can use the book as a source book or self-study material. First the drift ice material is presented ending with the concept of ‘ice state’ – the relevant properties in sea ice dynamics. Ice kinematics observations are widely presented with the mathematical analysis methods, and thereafter come drift ice rheology – to close the triangle material – kinematics – stress. The momentum equation of sea ice is derived in detail and its general properties are carefully analysed. Then follow two chapters on analytical models: free drift and drift in the presence of internal friction: These are very important tools in understanding the dynamical behaviour of sea ice. The last topical chapter is numerical models, which are the modern tool to solve ice dynamics problem in short term and long term problems. The closing chapter summarises sea ice dynamics applications and the need of sea ice dynamic knowledge and gives some final remarks on the future of this branch of science.

Book Synopsis Next Generation Earth System Prediction by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Next Generation Earth System Prediction written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the nation's economic activities, security concerns, and stewardship of natural resources become increasingly complex and globally interrelated, they become ever more sensitive to adverse impacts from weather, climate, and other natural phenomena. For several decades, forecasts with lead times of a few days for weather and other environmental phenomena have yielded valuable information to improve decision-making across all sectors of society. Developing the capability to forecast environmental conditions and disruptive events several weeks and months in advance could dramatically increase the value and benefit of environmental predictions, saving lives, protecting property, increasing economic vitality, protecting the environment, and informing policy choices. Over the past decade, the ability to forecast weather and climate conditions on subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales, i.e., two to fifty-two weeks in advance, has improved substantially. Although significant progress has been made, much work remains to make S2S predictions skillful enough, as well as optimally tailored and communicated, to enable widespread use. Next Generation Earth System Predictions presents a ten-year U.S. research agenda that increases the nation's S2S research and modeling capability, advances S2S forecasting, and aids in decision making at medium and extended lead times.

Book Synopsis Software Design Document for the Polar Ice Prediction System Version 2. 0 by : Ruth Preller
Download or read book Software Design Document for the Polar Ice Prediction System Version 2. 0 written by Ruth Preller and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1987, the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) has been running sea ice forecasting systems in various regions of Navy interest (the Central Arctic, the Barents Sea, and the Greenland Sea). The Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS1.1) predicts sea ice conditions in the Arctic basin, the Barents Sea, and the Greenland Sea at a resolution of 127 km. Two regional sea ice forecasting systems, the Polar Ice Prediction System - Barents Sea (RPIPS-B) and the Polar Ice Prediction System - Greenland Sea (RPIPS-G), also predict sea ice conditions in the Barents and Greenland Seas, respectively, at a higher resolution of 20-25 km. In 1995, the Naval Research Laboratory delivered to FNMOC a coupled ice-ocean system, the Polar Ice Prediction System 2.0 (PIPS2. 0), which predicts sea ice conditions of most of the ice-covered regions in the Northern Hemisphere. PIPS2.0 will replace the three existing operational forecast systems when it completes the final operational testing phase at FNMOC. PIPS2.0 uses as its basis the Hibler ice model and the Cox ocean model. PIPS2.0 has a resolution of approximately a quarter of a degree, which is similar to the resolution of the operational regional systems (RPIPS-B and RPIPS-G). This report briefly describes the main program and each of its subroutines.

Book Synopsis Long-Range Ice Forecasting System (LRIFS) Applied for the Beaufort Sea by : L. W. Davidson
Download or read book Long-Range Ice Forecasting System (LRIFS) Applied for the Beaufort Sea written by L. W. Davidson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied research conducted from 1984 to 1990 on behalf of the Environmental Studies Research Funds (ESRF) and Ice Centre Environment Canada (ICEC) has resulted in the implementation of an operational Long Range Ice (sea ice and iceberg severity) Forecasting System (LRIFS) at Ice Centre, Ottawa. The LRIFS system employs statistical models based on Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analyses of up to 40 years of regional surface and upper air weather data to predict abundance of sea ice and icebergs, in some locations up to six months prior to occurence. The system also makes provision of the use of ice anomaly data to predict future ice conditions. In the present work, this system has been generalized from its previous east coast base, and is now configured for use anywhere in the northern hemisphere. Major enhancements has been introduced to automate the identification of potentially viable meteorological predictors, and tests have been added to eliminate predictors showing artificial skill.

Book Synopsis Antarctic Sea Ice Variability in the Southern Ocean-Climate System by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Antarctic Sea Ice Variability in the Southern Ocean-Climate System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sea ice surrounding Antarctica has increased in extent and concentration from the late 1970s, when satellite-based measurements began, until 2015. Although this increasing trend is modest, it is surprising given the overall warming of the global climate and the region. Indeed, climate models, which incorporate our best understanding of the processes affecting the region, generally simulate a decrease in sea ice. Moreover, sea ice in the Arctic has exhibited pronounced declines over the same period, consistent with global climate model simulations. For these reasons, the behavior of Antarctic sea ice has presented a conundrum for global climate change science. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in January 2016, to bring together scientists with different sets of expertise and perspectives to further explore potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent Antarctic sea ice variability and to discuss ways to advance understanding of Antarctic sea ice and its relationship to the broader ocean-climate system. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
